Walter Russell Mead on Europe

Mead is very smart and this piece on Europe's current crisis is very interesting:

Internally, the Greek problem is showing signs of mutating into a full scale crisis of the European project.  Externally, the decisive shift of Ukraine into Russia’s orbit reveals the bankruptcy of European foreign policy and the inability of the 27 member European Union to formulate, much less carry out, a comprehensive foreign policy on matters affecting its vital interests.
